"This is where the Tower stops pretending to be fair."
"And I stop pretending to be merciful." — Wang Ling

The moment Wang Ling stepped through the Gate, the sky changed color.
No sun. No moon. Just a cracked veil of gray clouds, pulsing faintly with hostile mana.
Grass twisted at unnatural angles. Trees bled when the wind passed.
Even the air had density — like walking through invisible wire.
There were no signs. No lights. No guides.
Just a sprawling wasteland of hills, ruins, and movement.
He adjusted instantly.
"Three hours to map this region. No more."
"Then I find the alpha node and take control of the aggression field."
He wasn't here to survive.
He was here to overwrite the floor.

— Floor Reaction: PANIC CONDITION (Silent Phase)
The monsters didn't roar.
They retreated.
Regrouped.
Analyzed.
A swarm of six-legged predators once programmed to hunt weaklings now ran backward into the trees, hissing in alien frequencies.
Wang Ling walked in silence.
He didn't hunt.
He simply moved forward.
And behind him… the trees began to die.
Not from poison.
From fear.
"Their instincts are rewriting themselves to avoid me."
After seventeen minutes, he reached the edge of a ridge city, carved directly into a half-buried colossus.
It wasn't ruins.
It was alive.
And it had a people.

The Varn gathered as he entered the lower tiers of their city.
Dozens. Hundreds.
Armed. Enchanted. Fearless.
Until he made eye contact with their first priest.
And the priest's lungs collapsed mid-breath.
"What… what is that?"
"He walks without bindings…"
"He's not one of the twelve… not one of the burned…"
"Why does the Tower not reject him?"
Then their god descended.
Bound in chains of cursed fire, wings folded inward, eyes blindfolded by holy metal, the Bound Flame God was a fragment — a failed ascender made into a floor tyrant.
Its power burned the trees. Melted the stones.
But Wang Ling did not kneel.
He walked past the altar.
The god reached out a scorched hand.
And he said nothing.
"Player, halt. This is sacred—"
Snap.
Wang Ling broke its wrist without slowing down.
[System Alert – Blasphemy Flag Ignored]
"Cold God is not bound by worship laws."
"Ascender-class entities may not restrict his path."
— Proceeding…
The Varn didn't scream.
They simply knelt.
Because the Tower didn't punish him.
And when the Tower stops punishing, the world obeys.

Wang Ling looked to the east.
The floor map unfolded before his vision.
Thirteen nests.
Four sub-bosses.
One true node.
He started walking.
"This floor has no checkpoint?"
"Good."
"Then nothing can stop me from reaching the end without resting."
